Science & Industry

Greetings,

Now, sit tight, but I'm pretty sure I heard that during the Game Design panel speech yesterday, one of the devs said that Nullsec would be getting some new type of rocks that would yield ALL of the materials required for the construction of most ships in proportion to their requirments.

Meaning: Same asteroids yielding both base ores and high-end. Also talked about - the removal of base ores like Veldspar from nullsec completely.

Am I imagining this, or is this the case?

Full March 19th Fanfest Day 1 stream can be viewed here: http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/b/638754943

I am trying to locate that particular presentation.

Regards,

Elaborate. Because I see it as dynamic - more production in null - more trade hubs there, leading to more minerals reserved for the Empire space -> cheaper ships & modules = Equals more PVP.



Found the start of the 0.0 Sec presentation by Fozzie - http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/b/638754943 At 2:28:00.

Very interesting. Reminds me of times when I used to mine Arkonor & Bistot for massive profit in my Thorax back in 2004.

Nullsec Mining part starts at 2:29:20! Watching.

Damn, I'm good - more to come.

Woop Woop.

Let the Games, BEGIN.

Which is perfectly fine, considering the risks and logistics involved.

Sov will be ping-ponged a lot in the new system, so don't view it as a safe haven which will be built upon.

Many moons ago, the Delve region was the most desirable piece of real estate due to its moon resources - All of Eve converged on it, resulting in the destruction of Band of Brothers.

I'm expecting the same this time around, especially, when various 0.0 regions won't be in sync with respect to resources: Make only 3-5 regions the most desirable under the new ore system, among other things, and you will have EVE on fire.

Disclosure: I don't currently live in Nullsec. Can't say I'm not planning to.

Oh that's for certain, the devs can make a few random number generator rolls as to which regions get 'em and then settle on a permanent configuration/distribution that would go live on TQ, which would provide the most dynamic player content.

NICE REGION, WE'LL TAKE IT!

Well, maybe they'll fix Drone Regions, too. Someday, yeah.

having new ore would only be good for miners that are to busy either going on CTA or mining Ice to keep pos and caps fueled

to correct the transcript a little, it was CSM Mynnna, (not miners)

The idea is to rebalance the ores available, to adjust where the bottlenecks are.

Right now, nullsec production seriously bottlenecks on the lower end ores (mid end? you know what I mean) Which has people mining the highends for export, over producing, and tanking that market. Which has problems for the values of those ores.


I'd like to see larger changes happen, but those would require a relatively significant time investment, so not soon.

Anybody else getting sick of all the Nullsec buffs?

Why CCP wishes to nerf highsec mining is a mystery to me. I guess those highsec miners isk/hr is just too high.

Hmm. I watched the replay via Twitch TV of Fozzies talk on Sov changes. Looks like I was wrong and CCP have capitulated . I guess, or hope, they know what they are doing.

Compared to other nullsec activities, nullsec mining has been in the pit for years.

You want cheap Zydrine & Megacyte for your Empire needs? I have one thing to say: BUY THEM NOW.
